I want to do a review on my blog, my thoughts on blogging, my feelings about the process, and how the availability of my blog makes me fail, at this point of time. After all the questions I want to address are taken care of, I hope to realize and put forth how I have grown up to this point in relation to blogging.
When I began this blog life was great and I felt that I had no need to blog, also that it was beneath me. I felt that it was pointless and that bearly any blogs actually were worth my time or any one else's time. The first few blog posts were at best annoying and absurd. As I continued blogging it became slightly more enjoyable, but I was still not comfortable with the process as I am more of a private person. At the present time I feel that blogging is something that may be fun and enjoyable, and for the most part I feel comfortable putting my thoughts and ideas out there. While this change did happen, I still feel that blogging is a pointless, busy body, selfish act/process, but I have found that it is a great way to express your ideas in a subtle yet unsubtle way.
I wrote my blogs in a way that I would feel comfortable with literally anyone reading them as I will not retract what I have written thus far and believe that I have been more then conscious of other's feelings about subjects I have covered. I guess if I really wanted to be more sensitive in order to reach a broader audience I would not address certain issues that might turn a larger group of people. Though it was not my intention from the onset of my blog to gain the widest possible audience possible, but to put my ideas out there and see what people think.
There are many changes in my life as to what I do that I did not do before. I now check a greater variety of news sources on various media on a daily basis from internet, newspaper, etc. In addition, I have now read several blogs that I check once and a while that I would never had checked previously. Finally, I do have a greater appreciation for those that are able to maintain a blog on a daily basis. As this review of my blogging affair must come to an end, I will continue to grow as a person and this blog will continue to live on.
When i heard that we had to blog i wasn't that excited about it either. But i did learn a lot just like you did. i also check more new sources and appreciate people who blog a lot more. They are able to do some interesting things on their blogs and keep up with it daily. And i love the "live on" link at the end. Perfect. haha
ReplyDeleteI like your transformation from disliking the blogs (at best) to appreciating them more by the end of the semester. I also look more closely at the news for bias and holes in the story than I did before and I'm glad we had this outlet to discuss these changes.
